TL;DR

A Miami federal grand jury indicted former Cuban president Raúl Castro on murder and conspiracy charges for allegedly ordering Cuban forces to shoot down two exile aircraft in 1996, killing four people (three Americans). The charges are expected to be symbolic as the Trump administration increases pressure on Cuba, and Castro, now 94, is unlikely to be extradited.
